80So packed with knowingly dreadful puns, wily sight gags, and self-referential cheek that it's impossible not to be charmed.
-
75Has the same mixture of dumb puns, corny sight gags and sly, even sophisticated in-jokes. It's a lot of fun.
-
Stuffed with smart Internet gags, silly movie references and a happy energy that makes you forgive the sequences that don't work.
-
75Crammed with show-biz jokes that younger kids won't fathom, but the action is so quick and colorful that they probably won't mind.
-
75Works because they really are the focus - and they're excellently voiced .
-
75It's a sunny, funny, fittingly cartoony blend of computer-generated 3-D representations of the flying squirrel and his pal the moose with actors.
-
75Rocky and Bullwinkle have not only returned, but they've been placed in the hands of filmmakers who know what they're doing.
-
75It's often surprisingly clever, dripping with respect for its model, and done with considerable wit and style.
-
63Pure nonsense is hard to sustain for an entire feature-length movie.
-
60Beautifully regenerates the Jay Ward TV show its characters were based on.
-
50So quick that the flat moments are rapidly, inevitably chased by a new gag.
-
50This megastar mix of CGI animation and live action is remarkably faithful to the spirit of the original.
-
42The problem with the movie isn't that it sells out Rocky and Bullwinkle -- it's that it can't keep up with them.
-
42The liveliest thing here is the keen sense of regret you feel at seeing two TV icons reduced to supporting characters in a lame movie that trades on their good names.
-
40Hit-or-miss comedy at its best and worst: When it connects, the belly laughs are long and loud, but when it misses, the groans you'll be hearing are your own.
-
40Does go on too long, leading to inevitable dead spots.
-
40Never asks its target audience of self-referential baby boomers and their littles bundles of joy to take it more seriously than it takes itself.
-
38Too dumb to realize that the senselessness is viral.
-
30These are pitch-perfect impersonations rather than performances.
-
30It's sledgehammer whimsy, and it's not talking to me.
-
30Hardly a project worthy of grown men and women.
-
30Has some good throwaway gags -- but far too often, the moviemakers don't throw them away soon enough.
-
30It's great to have the Moose back, but it would be greater still to see him in a humorous context fully worth of him.
-
25The movie's attempts at zaniness are flat, almost embarrassing.
-
25The whole affair has a painfully self-conscious, self-referential air. Jokes land with a thud, and so, alas, does Rocky, who seems to have forgotten how to fly.
-
20Succumbs to its blockbuster ambitions and turns into a noisy, bloated mess.
-
10This clunky TV remake is stiffer than an iron curtain.
-
10A whole lot of something about nothing.
-
10Scarcely seems worth the expenditure of time, money and talent.
-
0Rocky & Bullwinkle is the new millennium's "Howard the Duck."

GavinC.5It's quite childish and has a few clichés, but the humor is exhausted quite yet.
-
MeharG.8This movie would have been much better if the character of Karen Sympathy or who ever their sidekick is was non existent!

Scott1Terrible. It was just on TV over Christmas and it was simply bad... Poor jokes, poor acting, poorly made. Stay away!
